CASTILLO-AVALOS, Yerko  and  ROVIRA-PINTO, Adriano. Water efficiency at the household level. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.4, pp.159-171. ISSN 2007-2422.

This study compared potential water savings among various savings measures and steps to reduce, optimize and recycle water for consumption at the household level. This calculation was based on assumptions about specific uses of water in the home and the respective outflows and relative savings resulting from water savings measures versus no measures. The results show that the same needs can be satisfied using less water and with excess recycled water than can be used for other purposes.

Keywords : water; water efficiency; domestic water; water savings; recycling.
